1.3 million records of asteroids and comets cataloged by the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It categorizes small bodies using orbital elements, physical dimensions, and hazard classifications derived from the Small-Body Database.
Use Cases
- Train a classification model to identify 'pha' (Potentially Hazardous Asteroids) using 'moid' and 'H' features
- Estimate missing 'diameter' values by performing regression on 'H' and 'albedo' columns
- Cluster solar system bodies into families based on 'a', 'e', and 'i' orbital elements
Strengths
- Includes orbital parameters such as 'e' (eccentricity), 'a' (semi-major axis), and 'i' (inclination)
- Contains physical characteristics including 'diameter', 'albedo', and 'H' (absolute magnitude)
- Features hazard indicators like 'pha' (Potentially Hazardous Asteroid) and 'neo' (Near-Earth Object)
- Provides orbit uncertainty metrics through the 'condition_code' column
